Government controls and regulations on this issue, in countries such as those that make up the European Union, for example, there are very strict controls to ensure that the water used in rice cultivation does not contain arsenic concentrations higher than those allowed and the use is avoided. of pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers contaminated with Arsenic, but the European food safety authority insists that much more attention should be paid to the issue of Arsenic in rice. Unfortunately, in our countries controls are much less strict or even non-existent, which leaves the door open to a more complicated situation, the contaminated rice that they do not have in Europe is sent to our countries.

Nobody eats a kilo of rice a day, but you don't necessarily have to eat a kilo of rice a day to go over the Accepted Limit. With the same example of a 70-kilo person, you could consume only approximately 160 grams, which would be a little more than a portion of rice, however, in many of our countries rice is one of the most accessible foods for millions of families, especially at this time when food is so expensive and large quantities are consumed, and that does not mean that They are exceeding those limits.

That's crazy. I did not know that there is a small amount of arsenic in the rice. So many foods nowadays contain a small amount of poison and other things you don't really want to eat. It's getting harder every day to eat healthy.
